Well, due to the weather in Newark and that entire surrounding area, got a full credit for my flight. So it'll be the wife, me, and the dog for thanksgiving.
Has nothing to do with the cost, it's the sanity piece. I've driven from Buffalo to Tucson, Tucson to VA Beach, and VB to Buffalo a few times. I decided, despite air travels own headaches, that I will always fly when possible going forward. I just hate long car rides, especially when time frame is tight due to work schedule and driving takes up half the trip.
